Abbreviations for the colors of conductor jackets in cables
In this document, a uniform system of abbreviations is used to represent the
colors of the conductor jackets used in equipment cables. These abbreviations
take the form:
<pair_color> <group_marker_type> <group_marker_color>
For example, the abbreviation BL 2W (representing Pair 1 of the second
25-pair binder) means that the conductor has a blue insulation background
with two white dots spaced 18 mm (3/4 in.) apart. The abbreviation BL W
(representing Pair 1 of the first 25-pair binder) means that the conductor has a
blue insulation background with a single white stripe.
Item Abbreviation
<pair_color> This is the background color of the conductor insulation
which indicates the pair color.
BL blue (pair 1 of the binder group)
O orange (pair 2 of the binder group)
G green (pair 3 of the binder group)
BR brown (pair 4 of the binder group)
S slate (pair 5 of the binder group)
<group_marker_type> This is the type of group marker used on the conductor
insulation.
1 single dots spaced about 18 mm (3/4 in.) apart
2 two dots spaced about 3 mm (1/8 in.) apart
with about 18 mm (3/4 in.) between each pair
of dots
3 dashes about 3 mm (1/8 in.) long spaced
about 18 mm (3/4 in.) apart
none one colored stripe on conductor jacket
<group_marker_color> This the color of the dot, dots or the stripe used as the
group marker on the conductor insulation.
W white (binder group 1)
R red (binder group 2)
BK black (binder group 3)
Y yellow (binder group 4)
V violet (binder group 5)

Installing the pad 1-
This chapter contains procedures for the site preparation and installation of
the AccessNode Series 800A cabinet. The chapter gives information for:
• planning site selection and preparation
• determining cabinet placement
• preparing the cabinet mounting pad
• pouring the concrete
How to use this chapter
In the following table, you will find a list of the procedures to install the
concrete pad for the AccessNode S800A Outside Plant cabinet. Perform the
procedures in the order listed. If you cannot successfully complete these
procedures, contact your next level of support.
Chapter task list
This chapter provides the procedures for the tasks presented in the table below.
Task See
Preparing the poured-in-place cabinet mounting pad Procedure 1-1 on page 1-8
Pouring the concrete Procedure 1-2 on page 1-23

1-2 Installing the pad
AccessNode 323-3001-210 Issue 1.0
Site selection and preparation
You can install the Series 800A cabinet in any suitable location; however, you
should consider the acoustical noise level at the site and the surrounding
terrain.
Acoustical noise
Siteswithvegetationandlandscapingtypicallyabsorb more ofthe incremental
noise from the cabinet’s equipment and environmental controls.
A hard site is defined as a cabinet or pad installation on a paved concrete
surface such as a roadway or parking lot. Grass, trees and bushes typically
render lower noise readings than those for a hard site.
Table 1-1 shows the acoustical noise specifications for the S800A cabinet at a
hard site installation.
Pad preparation
Nortel Networks recommends that you mount the S800A on a concrete pad.
Locate the pad above local flood plains to minimize the likelihood of damage
from adverse traffic and environmental conditions.
Consider the following items when preparing the site for the pad:
• soil conditions suitable to support the weight of the cabinet and concrete
pad (reference local building codes)
• commercialpowerserviceavailabilitytoprovide the acpowerinput for the
S800A cabinet as shown in Chapter 3, “Connecting commercial power” in
this practice
• cabling accessibility

Installing the pad 1-3
AccessNode Series 800A Outside Plant Cabinet Installation 323-3001-210 Issue 1.0
Pad applications
Excavated pad application
For excavated pads, locate and excavate a hole for the pad and cable conduits.
The recommended pad dimensions in heavy frost areas is 90 inches long
(228 cm) by 50 inches (126 cm) wide by 60 inches (152 cm) deep.
When the excavation is specified by local construction codes, the minimum
depth recommended is 12 inches (305 mm) or as specified by local codes.
Floating pad conditions and constraints
The floating pad arrangement is suitable where the conditions and constraints
listed below apply; however, the final design is the responsibility of the
operating company, contingent on specific local code requirements:
• Soil conditions support the weight of the cabinet and concrete pad
• The area is free of heaving due to frost.
• The pad is reinforced with steel rods or mesh to prevent cracking and
subsequent loss of the anchor bolts.
Pad drawings
The cabinet can be placed on a precast or poured-in-place concrete pad.
Figure 1-1 on page 1-7 shows the trade size conduit usage and pad placement.
Table 1-2 lists the precast pads and their corresponding reference drawings.
Verify the drawing numbers in Table 1-2 against the numbers included in the
installation kit from Nortel Networks.

1-4 Installing the pad
AccessNode 323-3001-210 Issue 1.0
Pad installation
Typically, the cabinet is mounted on a poured concrete pad with buried power
and telephone cables passing up through the pad into the bottom of the cabinet
via cabling conduit.
Anchor plate kits
To facilitate placement, optional anchor plate kits are available as shown in
Table 1-3. Each kit consists of an 11-gauge galvanized anchoring template
assembly with anchor bolts and temporary support angles.
Cable entry
The S800A cabinet is constructed with cable conduit entry ports located at the
bottom of the end compartments of the cabinet.
Note: All trade sizes listed are based on Schedule 40 PVC.
Termination compartment
The termination compartment has four 4.50-inch inside diameter (ID)
openings for 4.00-inch trade size conduit, and one 2.00-inch ID opening for
1.50-inch trade size conduit. See Table 1-4 on page 1-5.
